Meaning & History
Meaning uncertain, but it is thought to be of Dutch origin, possibly a French cognate of Van Der Walle, De Walle and/or De Waal. This name was borne by the French army officer, statesman and president Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), who led the Free France movement to liberate the country from Nazi German rule during World War II.
